By Joseph Thomas Cunningham

Book Overview

""Sexual Dimorphism in the Animal Kingdom: A Theory of the Evolution of Secondary Sexual Characters"" is a scientific book written by Joseph Thomas Cunningham and published in 1900. The book explores the concept of sexual dimorphism, which refers to the physical differences between males and females of the same species. Cunningham provides a detailed analysis of secondary sexual characteristics, such as coloration, ornamentation, and behavior, and their evolution over time. The author examines a wide range of animal species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects, and discusses the various factors that contribute to sexual dimorphism, such as sexual selection, natural selection, and genetic drift. The book is a seminal work in the field of evolutionary biology and remains relevant today as a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the study of sexual dimorphism and its role in the evolution of animal species.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
